So I bought a couple of appliques (sort of sparkly and sequinned forms -flowers, bows, butterflies, etc that you can add on your clothes etc), found a piece of copper beading thread, a needle and a haircomb and started crafting:
These are a couple of the appliques I bought: I bought a golden fan, the flower you saw above, a butterfly, and you can see a tiny part of a coral applique on the bottom of the page...
I sewed the copper thread manually through all of the hairpin holes. I checked the front if the thread was not visible, and VOILLA...a gorgeous hairpiece for a fraction of the normal price.
The front...no thread visible from the sewing...
Here is the piece in my stick-straight hair...I love hairpieces for giving my hair a bit of 'unboringness' (is that a word? it is now...LOL)
(Jamilla Camel, if you read this...yes, I still have quite pale skin...LOL)
Totally credit crunch friendly and very sassy for the summer season of flirting and flaunting ;P

I knew you were a crafty lady Birkie....this is wonderful! I really like to colours you chose. MORE!!!!
Aw nice, I love how it dangles down to your ear :) I want to make my own hair pieces too but well, I can't sew for nothing so I won't waste my time and money trying lol Maybe I can express my creativity with nail art or something, hmm. Blogger is an excellent source of inspiration. Thanks for sharing, Birkin! :)
